Junghans Nets 1000th Career Point but Blazers Come Up Short, 89-76, to Marymount

FREDERICK, Md.--Junior Ryan Junghans became the third player in Hood College men's basketball history to reach the 1,000-point plateau but the Blazers' (14-8, 8-5 CAC) second-half rally came up short in an 89-76 loss to Marymount University (12-9, 6-6 CAC) Saturday.

The Blazers and Saints traded field goals in the early going but with the score knotted at 11-11 with 12:36 to go in the first half, the Saints went on a 15-3 run over the next five minutes to assume a 26-14 advantage. From there, Marymount continued to pour it on, leading by as many as 21 in the stanza, and took a 46-28 lead into the lockerroom.

Shaun Ingram had the hot hand for the Saints, netting 18 first-half points, including three three-pointers. Hood's Mark McGlone had a solid first half as well, tallying 11 points to go along with six rebounds.

The Saints maintained a double-figure lead for most of the half until two triples by Tim Abercrombie and a pair of foul shots by Allen Kees cut the deficit to eight, 84-76, with a minute to play. But time ran out on the Blazers, who misfired on their final three long-range shots of the contest.

Junghans registered a team-high 17 points and became the third member of Hood's 1,000-point club, joining Santo Provenzano and Jesse Gutekunst. He made 7-of-14 from the floor and netted 15 points in the second half. McGlone finished with his second career double-double of 16 points and 10 rebounds. Abercrombie finished with 15 points and Anthony Bennett added 10 off the bench.

Marymount's Fred Stanback led all scorers with 25 points and grabbed 13 rebounds while Ingram tallied 24 for the victors.

The Blazers, still in third place in the CAC standings, wrap up their four-game homestand Tuesday hosting fourth-place Wesley College at 8 p.m. at Gov. Thomas Johnson High School.
